- Choose Switch to Personal Account from the options presented.
- Confirm your choice in the pop-up dialog to complete the switch.
After switching, you will lose access to professional insights and some business or creator features, but you will retain all your followers and posts
. If you want to make your account private for more privacy after switching to a personal account, go back to Settings , select Privacy , and toggle on Private Account. This will make your content visible only to approved followers
. This process simplifies your Instagram experience by removing business analytics and promotional tools, focusing on personal sharing and connections
